Take A Look Inside Actor Armie Hammer’s Fall From Grace Amidst Accusations Of Assault, Abuse, And Cannibalism
Armie Hammer was a rising star in Hollywood until gut-wrenching accusations of assault, abuse, and even cannibalism began to surface two years ago.
He got his start acting in smaller roles on popular television series like “Gossip Girl” and “Desperate Housewives.” But, after he starred in “The Social Network” in 2010, Armie became a household name.
He went on to star alongside Timothée Chalamet in the hit film “Call Me By Your Name” in 2017 and “Death on the Nile”– which was released back in February.
Still, Armie’s wealth and reputation could not protect him from the damning allegations that indicated a man with much more sinister motives.
It all began with Courtney Vucekovich, who had a relationship with Armie back in 2020. In an interview with the New York Post, she claimed that Armie was manipulative and abusive and even saddled her with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
“He kind of captivates you, and while being charming, he is grooming you for these things that are darker and heavier and consuming. When I say consuming, I mean mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, just everything,” Courtney said.
Then came Paige Lorenze, who also spoke to the New York Post and claimed to have dated Armie for four months in 2020. Paige revealed that following the relationship, she had to seek out therapy.
“There were red flags throughout the relationship. I guess I just put them to the side, and he made me feel so confident at times,” she explained.
Finally, in March of 2021, a third woman known only as Effie accused Armie of beating and assaulting her for four hours. Armie allegedly repeatedly slammed her head against the wall and committed other acts she did not consent to.

And on top of the claims of emotional manipulation and assault, Armie’s accusers also claim that he expressed cannibalistic interests.
Courtney, for example, recalled how Armie would say he wanted to break her rib, barbecue it, and eat it.
“He says, ‘I want to take a bite out of you.’ If I had a little cut on my hand, he’d, like, suck it or lick it. That’s about as weird as we got,” Courtney added.
Paige also shared a similar tale of Armie saying “weird stuff” about wanting to eat her ribs. And what frightened her the most after the fact was how much power Armie held over her in those moments.
“The scariest part of it is that I did love him in a way. I would have let him kind of do anything. He had a certain hold over me,” Paige said.
“House Of Hammer”
These unsettling tales of the disgraced actor prompted Discovery+ to launch a three-part series known as “House Of Hammer,” which debuted on September 2.
There, Armie’s accusers and aunt Casey Hammer revealed the Hammer family’s history of abuse, dysfunction, and greed.
However, Armie’s third accuser, Effie, is reportedly against the series. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, she called the entire project “inappropriate.”
“The way they have been exploiting my trauma is disgusting. When I keep screaming ‘no’ and they keep going, saying they don’t need my permission, they remind me of Armie,” Effie said.
Nonetheless, Julian Hobbs– the series’ filmmaker– explained how he felt “obligated” to share the whole story.
“We feel we actually have an obligation to tell the stories. If you were to stop making films because someone says they didn’t want a film being made, you would never make a film,” Julian stated.
And as for Armie himself, the LAPD has confirmed that an investigation is underway. In fact, the LA County District Attorney’s Office revealed that a “specially assigned prosecutor” is currently collaborating with law enforcement on the case.
